The Hawks are low-wing and all metal aircraft fitted with a navigation and attack system.

They are just 11.95 metres long, have a wingspan of 9.39 metres, but they can rip through the air at a staggering 1207km/h.

The Hawk 127s will tear through the sky to help commemorate Anzac Day services across the South Coast.

Nowra will experience its flypast at 10.30am, when three Hawks will travel in an east-west direction along Junction Street, from Berry Street over the cenotaph on West Street.

Just one minute later, the Hawks will be in Berry and will travel over the Berry Memorial Park on Alexandra Street.

Then, at 10.32am, the three Hawks will be in Gerringong where they will conduct a flypast over the Headland Flagpole.

Batemans Bay will also receive an Anzac Day flypast, with a single Hawk 127 flying over The Honour Stone on Clyde Street at 11.15am.

A RAAF spokesman said flypasts were a common occurrence on Anzac Day they could be organised with a request from local RSL clubs or the event's organising committee.

"The flypast gives the residents a proper view of the aircraft," he said.

The Hawk 127 is operated by Number 76 Squadron at RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle, and Number 79 Squadron at RAAF Base Pearce near Perth.

The Hawk 127 is a lead-in fighter that prepares air force pilots for conversion to F/A-18A and F/A-18B Hornets and F/A-18F Super Hornets.
